back for a 16th season sunday. abc seven's gloria rodriguez talks to john quinones about the new season, a 16 very successful seasons of what would you do? and i understand you're featuring some new scenarios this season. can you tell us about them? >> well, yeah, this sunday night you're going to see what happens when you see a schoolteacher who runs into her student and the father, turns out, has been seeing her on an adult website. what would you do if you find out that your son's teacher has a side job doing this? would you say anything? what what would happen if you're in a restaurant and you see some latino men who are applying for work, and there's a guy there in the audience saying, don't hire them
6:44 pm
, they're probably illegal. we're building a wall to keep these people out. and he doesn't know whether they're these men are here legally or not. would you say something? would you speak up? we have sarah haines on the show talking about breastfeeding in public. what if you're at a restaurant and some woman is just feeding her child? you know, and somebody starts complaining about the breastfeeding in public? uh- sara haines, one of the viewers, did a brilliant job with that. we have kamau bell uh, the comedian who will be also a contributing correspondent. he'll be doing stories out of alabama and then a jim creeper. what if you're at the gym and some guy is taking videos of young women who are simply trying to work out, and then he tells them he's an agent and he can get a modeling jobs, would you get involved? >> what do you think it is about this show that really resonates with so many people? well you know, at its heart, this show has always been on a reflection of where we are as a society at
6:45 pm
any given time. >> yeah. yes, indeed. there are divisive times today. uh- much of it do. we went through some tough times during covid. you know, covid had a massive impact on the way the beliefs of people and the behavior of people. but the show also reminds us that we have many commonality among each other. and i think that's the beauty of the show, that it showcases what we have in common. it sort of restores your faith in humanity at a time when we need it the most. >> and what would you do? returns this sunday at 10 p.m. it will also be available on hulu starting on monday. >> and what would you do if you wanted to know what the storms were going to bring us? >> hmm. i would turn to abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel. >> what a great idea. hey, guys. all right, let's talk about tahoe. okay? in case you want to go up for this holiday weekend, mix precipitation tomorrow. windy. 44 degrees. sunday, a few
6:46 pm
showers, gusty in the morning. 45. presidents day is when we're expecting heavy rain and snow, so that's probably the worst day to try to travel up there. snow continues on tuesday. these are warmer storms and they will bring snow. but as you take a look at the snowfall estimates through next wednesday night, 41in at kirkwood, 48in at donner. looking at live doppler seven, we are seeing some moisture up in the clouds. this isn't hitting the ground yet. it's a level two storm coming in tomorrow. it does have a weak atmospheric river and here's a look at what you can expect. so isolated showers. not out of the question late tonight, but it's tomorrow morning that the rain moves in 11 a.m. you're seeing some pockets of moderate rain. it continues to remain moderate to heavy at times in the afternoon and evening. and then it really switches over to just scattered showers late at night. it is a two as i mentioned rain downpour hours at times tomorrow gusts 20 to 40 plus miles an hour. watch out for rough and dangerous surf as far as your highs go, there will be in the 50s and 60s with the wet windy
6:47 pm
weather tomorrow we're going to fast forward to sunday morning. you're okay until about 12:00 when the rain starts to move in and it does intensify at 3 p.m. with that second storm continues through the night, and then this system is going to linger. park itself off the coast. so monday you get more rain. tuesday you get the potential for some more rain. and this continues into wednesday with those scattered showers winding down by wednesday night. in terms of rainfall from sunday through wednesday. look at ben lomond. almost eight inches of rain. the rest of you in that one to 4.5in category. coastal hills 6 to 8in in the bay area two two for the next three days. chance of thunder monday and then it's a wan tuesday and wednesday before we dry out. ama and dan okay, busy few days. >> thanks, sandy. >> all right, casey pratt's here. some fun stuff going on tonight, right? yeah. >> can you believe it's already the nba all star break? it seems kind of wild. we were distracted by the 40 niners. yes, yes. uh- nba all-star festivities began tonight. some warriors get a much deserved break, but not all of them. see how steph curry is gearing up for his showdown with
6:48 pm
6:49 pm
look like other money managers, but we're different. (other money manager) how so? (fisher investments) we're a fiduciary, obligated to act in our client'' best interest. (fisher investments) so we don't sell any commission-based products. (other money manager) then how do you make money? (fisher investments) we have a simple management fee, structured so we do better when our clients do better. (other money manager) your clients really come first then, huh? (fisher investments) yes. we make them a top priority, by getting to know their finances, family, health, lifestyle and more. (other money manager) wow, maybe we are different. (fisher investments) at fisher investments, we're clearly different. the economy is simply not working for millions of hard working families. they're working harder than ever and they still can't make enough to get by to afford food and medicine to even keep a roof over their heads. we need to build more housing that's truly affordable. we need to address this terrible epidemic of homelessness. we need to invest in good paying jobs, union jobs and investments in our future. this, this is why i'm running for the us senate. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message.
6:50 pm
6:51 pm
good evening. the nba all star break is finally upon us and the warriors deserve a few days off. but last night in utah, steve kerr may have actually unlocked something. klay thompson came off the bench for the first time since his rookie season. he went off. klay dropped a season high 35 points as coach. kerr won his 500th career game. it was the first time in 11 years, 4358 days to be exact, that klay wasn't in the starting lineup when healthy. and instead of seeing this as an insult, you guys, he actually just rose to the occasion. >> i just want to take it upon myself to prove to coach that i was going to respond like the champ i am, and i thought i did that well tonight, and i learned some things tonight that i'm going to carry with myself throughout the whole season. for
6:52 pm
your teammates, play for the fun of the game. play for the dubs. not the name on the back of the jersey. and that's what i'm at my best was when i'm winning is the only thing that concerns me. i can't, you know, get hung up on a few bad performances here or there rather than just being grateful to be out here and do what i love. it's really a blessing. >> now, stephen curry is going to need to rise to a different kind of challenge. he takes on walnut creek native sabrina unesco in the first ever nba versus wnba three point challenge on saturday. i personally can't wait for this. sabrina will shoot from the nba's three point line and she has the range. she broke curry's record with 37 out of a possible 40 points last season. and of course, curry is the best shooter of all time, so it will be a fun battle. let's get to some golf. tiger woods was back this week and then he wasn't. woods was playing and hosting at the genesis invitational in la. sadly for woods, he apparently wasn't feeling well after his tee shot on number seven. he couldn't go on. he had to withdraw a cart, picked him up,
6:53 pm
drove him back to the locker room where he was given an iv. no clue when we will see woods next. your leader is patrick cantlay, who actually had tiger's old caddie on the bag. cantlay rolled this birdie in at 17. he has a five shot lead heading into the weekend, but the shot of the day came from wills zalatoris on the par three 14th. my shots never do this and it's a hole in one. and get this the ace earned zalatoris and his caddie each a new genesis car. that is a nice tip for the caddy. the nfl has suspended jimmy garoppolo for two games for violating the league's performance enhancing substances policy. according to espn. he was using a prescribed medication without an actual prescription. the 32 year old quarterback was expected to be released due to raiders salary cap issues. anyways and what good is a circus without clowns and an elephant? the a's stadium saga continue to take new and interesting turns today, just a day after meeting with the city and county, the oakland stadium
6:54 pm
authority abruptly canceled a meeting that was meant to iron out the final details of the oakland roots playing at the coliseum in 2025. no explanations were provided. the a's say they would be fine sharing the coliseum with the soccer club. then a report surfaced in the athletic that san bento is the front runner to be the a's temporary home. so did the coliseum authority blow up the roots plans in oakland for no apparent reason? man what a mess this has become. this abc seven sports report is sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. and my sources tell me you can't tell me. yeah, my sources tell me that the city and the mlb commissioner's office are still talking. okay. and the city still wants either expansion, the a's name and colors, or or the team to be sold. they're driving a hard bargain. which is now why you're hearing about sacramento and on and on and on going. >> it's a drama. thanks very much. every time. >> all right. tonight on abc seven at 8:00, it's shark tank,
6:55 pm
followed by 2020. then do stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc seven bay area app. so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters when i was a kid, most of the guys i knew brought something with them to school. every day. that would probably be a serious problem for students. today. we carried pocket knives. they came in handy all the time. it was no big deal and no one gave it any thought at all. in fact, i carry one with me. most of the time to this day. sure there were fights, but no one ever got stabbed at school when i was a kid and certainly not shot. what happened in kansas city this week as chiefs fans celebrated the super bowl victory was just outrageous. and another example of the rampant gun violence that continues to plague this country . two juveniles have been charged. we need to find a way to stop the carnage from guns. of course, while still protecting a constitutional right. but it goes beyond guns.
6:56 pm
something has fundamentally changed in our psychology. our society. see what was once very rare children settling an argument or a grievance with a weapon is more commonplace. what really matters is to understand the change in thinking that makes a kid grab a knife or a gun to deal with a conflict. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> all right. that is going to do it for us for this edition of abc seven news, we thank you for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, casey pratt, all of us here. we appreciate your time on this friday. hope you have a nice evening and you stay dry this weekend. we'll see you again at 11.
